Hockney Chair

The chair that frames you. And the room around you.
There are chairs that sit at the table and there are chairs that make a statement about the table they sit at. The Hockney was designed to do both. A single continuous piece of wood sweeps from one armrest across the back and down to the other — a trapezoidal rail that frames the sitter without enclosing them, open at the top and wide at the back in a form that is as architectural as it is functional. Splayed A-frame rear legs give the chair its dynamic, considered stance — the angle creating a visual tension against the straight front legs that makes the Hockney as interesting from the side as it is from the front. Metal brackets with visible bolts connect the rail to the rear legs at each junction — the honest hardware detail that makes the joinery the most considered element of the piece.
Wood carries the warmth and distinctive grain of honest Indian timber through every element of the Hockney — seat, rail, and legs sharing the same reddish warmth, the grain flowing through each piece with the quiet consistency of a material that was chosen for its character rather than its convenience. No upholstery, no concealment, no apology — just wood and metal in a chair that trusts its materials entirely. A dining chair designed in India, for the home that understands the most considered tables are always the ones surrounded by chairs with the confidence to show exactly what they are made of.
